Apple is planning to role out a streaming music service like Pandora and Spotify, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

The report shows Apple will likely create stations that are free to users, but ad-driven. The stations would play specific music genres chosen by the user. Apple's global reach would benefit musicians and music labels because it would open up artists to a much larger audience.
